 Many of the Screen Songs featured popular stars of stage, radio, and records such as Ethel Merman, Rudy Vallee, Lillian Roth, The Mills Brothers, and the Boswell Sisters.Starting in 1934, the Screen Songs series focused on the big bands of the "Swing Era", such as Abe Lyman, Shep Fields, Gus Arnheim, Hal Kemp, Jack Denny, Vincent Lopez, Henry King, Jay Freeman, Jerry Baline, Bert Block, Frank Dailey, and Jimmy Dorsey.The "Screen Songs" concept was revised in a special edition of the Technicolor "Noveltoons" series in 1945 with "When G. I. Johnny Comes Home Again", and the series officially returned in 1947 with "The Circus Comes to Clown" and continued until 1951.
